Vaginal Health :: Red Burning Vulva


Jul 4, 2015

I've been suffering from a vagina condition for almost a year now. It started out with what seemed like a yeast infection with painful burning inside and out but after many courses of antibiotics, steroid cream, antifungal, my condition down there has only worsened. I have even been on vagifem because my dermatologist said estrogen was low on the skin down there maybe due to being on birth-control for so many years. Stopped birth control stayed on vagifem, no improvement. My parts are now constantly red and burning inside and out and she said I have Vulvodynia because she can't explain it. I've been in vagina therapy and taking an antidepressant so suppress the nerve endings. I only experienced a brief 2 week period of relief before it came back worse than before. My doctors can't figure anything out, they put me on hydrocortisone cream 10% intravaginally for 4 weeks, then clindamycin cream again, no improvement. Nothing helps the pain except epsom salt bath soaks and ice.I'm scheduled to see another Gyno for hopefully a pair of fresh eyes on my condition because so far no doctor has found a helpful solution. My boyfriend and I do manage to have sex once a week but it's always painful and we have to use lots of lube because I get very dry which is why I keep thinking it's estrogen related but I'm only 31. I've been tested for STDs and all that jazz, he is the only sexual partner I've ever had and prior to us beginning to have sex, I never had these issues in my life. They didn't happen immediately, I didn't start having this problem until 3 months or so after we were having sex, first with condoms than without so, I dunno. My mom said she would get yeast infections all the time when she had sex with my dad but my doctors never find evidence of yeast in my cultures or really anything except that my parts are clearly inflamed from my white cell count.I'm at my wits end with this, I can barely enjoy sex anymore or get in the mood. I'm always uncomfortable. I no longer shave down there, wear all cotton panties, sleep without underwear at night, take daily epsom salt soaks. My boyfriend and I did stop having sex for a few months to see if that helped but it didn't. Sex does aggravate it though but so does moving around, driving and sitting, sitting is the worst. The skin down there is red all over and it hurts to rub my clit or touch down there and it just burns all the time like its on fire. Its awful, anyone had anything similar to this?I've tried home remedies too, different soaks, herbal supplements, cut out soda and trying to eat better diet wise. It also burns when I pee sometimes but not all the time. I think it burns cause the skin down there is so inflamed that anything that hits it just makes it scream in pain. I keep thinking it has to be autoimmune or an allergen I'm not aware of even though I use unscented soap, shaving cream etc.

Vaginal Health :: Lump Between My Urethra And Vulva Opening Is

I'm 17 years old and I am not sexual active and I am a virgin. I have an important question about my body, my hymen to be exact. At least I think so. Anyways for years I've always had this lump looking thing between my urethra and the top of my vaginal opening, it's soft, I think it only hurts a little when it's touched with dry skin which is hardly, It's never bothered me but lately I've been wondering if that's even suppose to be there, I urinate fine without pain or burning and I get my period normally too. Now to describe it better, there's my urethra and then connected is the lump that's fairly large, not BIG but if a doctor checked me; its impossible not to see, then it connects inside with my vaginal opening but just the top of it, then I have a normal vaginal opening below it, and I can see what looks like my hymen, looks normal to me there. I've used tampons with no problems and such but I'm thinking if I have sex in the future, it would be painful or impossible to just pass it without rubbing it which would hurt I'm thinking. So about 2 years back I went to the doctors because I was sure I had a yeast infection, they checked me out down there and did a pap smear, I didn't mention the lump because I was there for another reason but the doctor also didn't say anything about it so I had been relieved and thought it must be normal then but when she put the metal thing during the pap smear; I felt it hit the lump and it hurt but then after she pulled out; I felt no pain at all, but then I think about how it would be if I had sex in the future and how it might be a problem, I just can't figure out what it is. I'm thinking of just getting a pelvic exam in general and have my doctor just check that all out to make sure I'm fine but I honestly feel completely alright and just want to know what it is.

Vaginal Health :: Torn Vulva From Accident, White Fleshy Stuff Hanging

I'm embarrassed to even type this question but when I was around ten I fell on a bedpost and had to get surgery on my vagina area, a couple years later I noticed that my vagina doesn't look normal. There's a red piece of the vagina hanging on one side and another smaller piece on the other? It might be that my vagina ripped due to the stitches not working or something? Also on the bottom of my vagina looks a bit torn and has white fleshy stuff showing? I want to have sex in the future and I'm 19 but I'm a bit embarrassed to go to a Gyno even though I have heavy periods because I'm afraid of revealing this...I'm on my parents medical plan so if I get surgery I don't really want to tell my parents because this is so embarrassing...What could I do? Is this serious and was the doctor who did this supposed to do a checkup or something because I wasn't aware of this for awhile so it could've torn over the years?

Vaginal Health :: Burning Itching Sensation

In my feminine area I have a very bad burning itching sensation that also feels like I have open sores in that area. When I am sitting down it is not as bad but when I am standing and walking around I want to die it hurts so bad. I am a waitress and it makes my life a living hell when ever I work that I have called in sick many times because it gets so bad. I have tried many creams, soaps and even just used water while I clean this area and they all make it worse. I have been to the doctors to be tested for UTI, bladder and yeast infections and all came back negative. My doctors wants to test for STD but I have never in my life had any kind of sexual intercourse.

Vulva :: Dry And Burning, But No Itching?

Seriously, it hurts so bad I can't even touch it. No redness, no discharge, no odor, no itching, no pain urinating, just dryness and burning. Similar to a rash or rug burn.

I've treated it for yeast infections, but it still keeps burning off and on. Maybe it's sensitive skin? I use natural and PH-balanced soaps because I can't stand using only water down there.

Please help! It REALLY makes it difficult to enjoy my sex life.

Vulva Area Burning With Bumps

I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year and we both lost our virginity to each other and neither of us, have cheated. However, one month ago, I noticed a line of bumps from my vaginal opening to the lips. They're really small and they worried me a lot at first. However, being with only one man, I figured it couldn't be anything transmitted sexually. But, recently, it's been burning when I go to bathroom, or even when I'm just sitting down. I'm just worried that it's something I can't get rid of. My boyfriend did have a wart on his hand, and I'm just scared it could have transmitted from that?

Vulva :: Mirena Causing Burning Sensation?

I had the mirena put in 3 months ago. Ever since I have had extremely tender breast and a very low sex drive I know that these are a few of the side affects but what I am even more concerned about is the extreme burning sensation I feel on my vulva. I have gone in many times already. Been check for STD, yeast, and bacterial infection. All came back negative. I have noticed whenever I have extremely bad cramps from the birth control is when I start feeling the burning sensation. I never felt this until I got the birth control in. Is this common? Or am I the only one who feels this extreme burning sensation when I start cramping? I plan to have it removed Tuesday I can't take this anymore.

I tried using monistat soothing cream to aid the burning feeling, but it only made it worse.

I feel my vaginal opening is small and tight, which causes pain and difficulty in penetration. I used to do digital penetration and am able to insert two of my fingers together, but it doesn't seem to dilate while penis insertion. What could be a possible treatment? Would dilators work or will I need to undergo a surgery?

Vaginal Health :: Small Bumps Around Vaginal Opening?

Today I noticed a cluster of small bumps around the bottom of the opening of my vagina, they're kind of red. I am sexually active with my boyfriend and I'm slightly worried he could have given me an std. We have oral sex too though and there's nothing wrong with my mouth.. We have sex a lot so maybe it could just be irritation.. I'm not sure but I'm scared. I have pictures but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post them.

Birth Control Pills Causing Vaginal Itching/burning?

So I've been sexually active with the same partner for a year and a half. Recently the area around my vaginal opening has been real itchy, and after I have sex it burns down there for like an hour (kind-of like it would if you had real rough sex). This happened to me once before about 6 months ago, except I gave into the temptation to scratch the itch, and it only made it worse, and everything got all raw and painful down there. I went to the gyno and she gave me a monstat and anti-bacterial cream. Neither of which worked. The only thing that helped even a little was hydrocortisone. However, I changed birth control from the pill (Loestrin Fe) to the depo shot. The itching went away. Was on the shot for like 6 months and couldn't stand it, so I switched back to the same pill two months ago and now the itching has returned. I did not read anything about itching on the side-effects of this birth control, does anyone know what the deal is?
 
Things I know that it's not, so please don't suggest them.
 
Yeast Infection
-No smell or discharge.
-Monistat doesn't help.
-Itching on the outside NOT inside of my vagina.
 
STD
-Me and my partner are both clean and yes, I know that for a fact.
 
Sperm Allergy
-I never use condoms and have never had a problem, either vaginally or orally. 
 
Also, I do not use any soaps to wash down there, only water, so it shouldn't be a chemical allergy either.
